6/1 Cubs vs. Pirates

A little Cubs trivia:

* Before losing six games to the Pirates in May, the last time the Cubs lost at least six games to one team in the same month was May 2006 when they went 0-7 against the Padres. The last time the Cubs lost six times to the Pirates in a calendar month was September 1996 when they went 2-6 against Pittsburgh.

oh man, they blew it again. that makes 7…to the buckos?
sorry for the consistent negativity, but carrie, c’mon…please post some honesty on here along with the info. i’d be curious to see your opinion on the boys as you spend more time around all of them. what’s wrong here? what is standing in their way? themselves? please post some of your opinions sometimes…it is a blog afterall.
at least X had some pop tonight….but alas, they blow it again. sigh.

Sorry, folks, but I didn’t make trip to Pittsburgh (even though Lidia’s is one of my favorite restaurants). Will catch up in Houston. Yes, there’s been interest in D-Lee and Nady by the Angels. And, if you keep in mind the no-trade clauses most of there players have, there isn’t much the front office can do.
